"Sounds like you are already on the right path.   Datsport will be your best bet for rubbers.   Don't remove any rubbers until you have a replacement in your hands. Especially 1/4 window rubbers as there are no replacements available that I am aware of."

"I knew the 1000's had something up with their steel that made them higher quality than later models of Datsun's just never knew exactly what the difference was.   Thanks for the info D.     P.S. I am also in love with the white Fiat with the red stripe."

"I think it is an excellent mod.   Sometimes the small things turn out to be more important than you think.   Made a small steel bracket to better mount two throttle return springs on my Weber today.   It's nothing major, but an improvement is an..."

"Wow, what a journey to get it running.   Good thing 1000's are worth the effort.   You have made me envious of the GX carbs on your A-Series, Dundee.   And congrats on the award."

"Today I learned.   Thanks for the info Dundee.   Just had a look through a parts catalogue, it seems it is part of the door card on the coupe. Ive never noticed this detail on coupes before.   I feel very silly to have never noticed this."
